There can always be a new sentence after a full stop, that's what God of War 2018 is. The first modern installment of the great franchise. The game really honoured the previous titles, it's like the classic GoW but upgraded. The peeps who played the classics can relate. The game is visually great as we move from Greek mythology to Norse and this time we got company as in friendly. The pacing is so good, not to mention the beautiful soundtracks, gameplay is fun and so is the combat. The cinematics are another great department they did absolutely well, especially the combat shots. Acting was great and overall amazing. There's so much to explore, good amount of side activities which is very rewarding at times. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3487314324 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3489655240 Character development is really good and are well portrayed, the lore narration, placing different main figures of norse myth. Puzzles were fine but can be annoying sometimes, prevention of fast travel till end game also felt a let down. Uping the difficulty is imo a better experience. God of War 4 in the end is one hell of an experience and any individual should definitely go for it, better if you played the classics but still fine. One of the best titles that covered the face of Playstation in the beginning and at present.

I remember listening to people talk enthusiastically about this game on podcasts from my work cubicle 7 years ago. I was missing out on it being a PlayStation exclusive and hoped it would one day come to PC, which seemed like a long shot. Then it did. Many exclusives did. I'm glad that's in our timeline. I initially started my playthrough a few years ago on the Steam Deck, on a work trip and from what I remember it was a lot of fun on the Deck. However, I dropped it because I was surprised to see THPS 1 + 2 finally come to Steam. Then I waited until I upgraded my PC. And then I waited a little longer... Yeah this game is pure cinema. I loved the father and son dynamic throughout the whole game. I am thankful I had the chance to play this. There were a few times I struggled on second lowest difficulty (Give Me A Balanced Experience) but all in all the gameplay was satisfying. My only complaint really is the upgrading and crafting systems. They felt cluttered and weren't intuitive for me. I'm sure I would have had a better time in some fights if I had optimized my build but I managed. Besides that, there wasn't anything to complain about for me. This one was a lot of fun, definitely worth giving it a shot! It was fun on the Steam Deck but I am glad I played most of my playthrough on my desktop. BOY! Backlog Games Beaten 2025 19/50

Story is great with Kratos and Atreus character development. Explorations is fun, combat is decent but parkour is slow and boring. Very easy to get 100% achievements.

Well after about 10 playthroughs on God of War (2018). PS4, PS5 (after patch for 60 fps) Steamdeck and PC. I can certainly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys a rich story and awesome visuals. I don't know what it is about this game but I just keep coming back to play, simply to re-experience the story. If I could erase a game from my memory and replay it for the first time, it would be this game.

A very overrated game in my view. Everything is so bland and boring. The combat does feel intense sometimes but is shallow and repetitive. The puzzles are not so good and feels like they are there to prolong the play time. Maybe it's just because I'm missing something, but I have no idea why people love this game.

I really liked the original trilogy. I wanted to like this game too. Really. But I can't. It's just boring. I mean compared to the original. It doesn't feel grand. It feels empty. Most of the time It's just a really easy platformer. I mean platforming is practically automatic in this game. Combat is very interesting because it's incredibly overcomplicated and uninteresting at the same time. I mean Kratos is made up to be a mighty, and powerful god in the story. The god of war, as the title says. But the Kratos I know could finish 20 harpies and 50 undead soldiers backed up by 2 minotaurs in under 3 minutes. This Kratos is fucking around with 10 Draugr and an Ogre for 20 minutes. It's ridicoulus. Also in the first 3 games you always had the feeling of something great happening wherever Kratos went. I mean it starts with the siege of Athens. There are soldiers in the background, and warships and stuff. Here it's just going around in dead f-ing silence. The game may be interesting if it was played by somebody who doesn't know much about norse mithology. But I'm nearing 40, I already know all my share of all mythology. So this game is unfortonately quite meh...

This game has very satisfying and very interactive combat. Everything is a treat to look at and the gameplay is just designed to make you feel powerful like kratos naturally would.

Kratos_Fall_meme.mp4 Boy i enjoyed this journey for second time playing (first time on pc) it is 100 out of 10 but it lacks big fights from old god of war games, dragon fight was so good it gave me taste and said oh it was a demo big fight ugh... Nevermind. Its a good game, good story telling, no repetitive overdoing like ubisoft does, more you progress more depth and options begin to uncover in the end you have fun exploring dont feel forced to it. Good game Good storyline, Good Lore and an amazing gameplay.

Interesting visuals, dull and repetitive game. There is constant combating same or similar foes, just slash and hack. And then a lot of grind for gold, which in the end is useless because you can grind max 1 set of good equipment. It didn't impress. And the ending is just meh.. yeah right, make it a series. Bought for 20 EUR, totally not worth it. Wont play it again after one try.

10/10, amazing graphics, soundtrack and most importantly storyline. The gameplay is also great. I played this once 2 years ago by myself and replayed it 2 years later with my brother. It's still as good as I remember it, and alot of the side content is skippable if you just want to focus on the main story! Can't think of any downsides at the moment. I'm pretty sure I bought this game when it was half-off so if you ever see it on sale or even full price, please give it a try!

[h1]Kratos: Now With Extra Trauma and a Son.[/h1] [b]BOY![/b] If you haven’t played God of War, what are you even doing? It’s not just a game, it’s a cinematic dadcore epic where emotional baggage meets axe-throwing and flaming chain-blades so satisfying they could both be classified as controlled substances. [h3]Story[/h3] Kratos went from Greek rage monster to Norse sad dad with depth.. What starts as a simple quest to spread his wife's ashes turns into a slow-burning, emotional journey of grief, growth, and grudging love. Atreus isn’t just a sidekick, he’s the heart of the story. And Kratos? Somehow both terrifying and deeply relatable. The writing is sharp, the pacing deliberate, and the payoff? Massive. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3036575489 [h3]Combat[/h3] [list][*]The Leviathan Axe hits like a truck. [*]The Blades of Chaos feel like controlling a storm. [*]Together, they create one of the most satisfying combat systems in modern action games.[/list] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3037965721 [h3]Visuals[/h3] From snow-dusted peaks to molten caverns, every frame is stunning. The world design oozes personality and ancient mystery. The game’s seamless camera (no cuts from start to finish) isn’t just a flex, it makes the journey feel intimate and uninterrupted. Character models, lighting, animations, it’s AAA artistry at its peak. [h3]Sure, it robbed my GOTY crown from Red Dead Redemption 2… but fine. I get it. [/h3] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3036399596 Buy it. Beat it. Then go play the sequel. Here’s my [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45216092/]Curator page!

I've played it before on the old exclusive system. Being on a newer system (with a 4060) than what it originally came out on, the graphics aren't Perfect but still great and there is a little bit of lag in one puzzle type, but its honestly a great port! I personally play with my PS4 controller and it works perfectly. I recommend for those who love single player stories like LA Noire or Hogwarts Legacy. They did a lot of work that leads into Ragnarok.

If you haven't played this game before, I would highly recommend you give it a try. I was completely blown away by the visuals, truly one of the best; even for a game released 7 years ago. The game play is top tier no doubt, the audio is stunning as well. The characters are beautifully crafted, the voice acting is one of the best and you will get attached to the characters in no time. ALL of THAT pales in comparison to the story, it is just that good. It is worth every single penny, the cinematic experience you get is priceless. I can understand now why it won the GOTY (even beating RDR2), play it if you want to know why as well!

i was a fan of the older god of war games already but this is different in a good way i think they took a risk changing the story and game play this much but it worked IMO, there is very good story and character development involving Kratos and they do a good job of keeping it known that he is still the God of War from the old games. (10/10) (one of my top 10 favorite games)

Again, I am late to playing popular titles like this one but having now played this game I can honestly say God Of War 2018 is up there with some of my favourite games of all time. The story is epic and rich, the graphics and game play is insanely good with good levels of challenge. Particularly after beating all Valkyries. I am soooo looking forward to playing God Of War Ragnarok! It is well worth your time if you havn't played GOW 2018!

It is extremely difficult for me to think of a single thing I dislike about God of War. While I wasn't a fan of the combat system in the very beginning, when it clicks it fucking CLICKS. After the first few hours preforming attacks and moving felt like second nature, and the various skill upgrades felt extremely cohesive to combat once I was able to unlock them. The sound design is really well done, and the graphics are phenomenal even at the "normal" setting (which is extremely nice for those without the greatest PC build). The enemy design can seem a little generic for some of the monsters (especially the fodder/early game enemies) but there are some truly incredibly designed opponents in here, both in terms of move sets and aesthetics. But the story is what really shines here; though the original God of War games were before my time, the game was clearly made with the intent to cater toward both new and old audiences. It almost felt as though I was in the same place as Atreus, wondering things about Kratos's past which were slowly revealed in the natural progression of the story. The way Norse myth is integrated into the plot felt very organic as well. I was absolutely hooked from the very beginning sequences of the game, and had a difficult time putting it down for the rest of my play time. I am eternally grateful to PlayStation for letting us have God of War, and cannot recommend it enough if you're considering buying it.

Got this in the sale for £12,,,,having absolute blast playing it on the SteamDeck and changed a few settings but other than that it’s running beautifully on the Deck. I’m playing on Normal difficulty mode but it’s still a challenge plus there’s tons to explore and find not that it’s a fully open world but just enough so it’s not fully linear. Highly recommend this one

I've beat this game easily over 10 times on my PS4, this game still holds up years later. This game has replayability like no other. the pacing is perfect, the graphics are breath taking, and the mechanics work extremely smooth. Honestly this edition of God Of War is my favorite by far. It may get a little old after the 3rd or 4th play through back to back, but what game wouldnt? The thing that shines through above all is how easy it is to get into it. regardless of if its your first time playing the franchise, or your 10th time replaying it. it feels fresh every single time. This game is in my top 5 of all time with out a question.

This game is like a 60/40 for recommending. I love the art style and the story, but the game felt so short. I get they were establishing a new timeline and story, but it could have been longer. Games runs okay on my high end system. Steam deck was a struggle. If you like old school GoW games, you might like this game, you might not. Kratos is almost a completely different character, which I personally don't mind. I prefer father figure Kratos but I get if you don't. Do your research but this game is a good single player game when it is on sale.

Now i know what the fuss is about this game - it's just fantastic - can't believe i waited this long to buy this game and play it - absolutely loving it. NOTE: If you're on wireless speakers/headphones and hear some sort of revert sound - go to your speaker/headphone settings in Windows and turn off any spatial sound. Mine was on Windows Sonic for headphones and it sounded like during cinematics Kratos was speaking on reverb or something. Now the issue is solved! Hope that helps someone.

After a little over forty-five and a half hours, on a playthrough that involved seeing everything and getting everything, I can say with certainty that this game is one of the greatest games I've ever played. Please note that I've played this game before at least three times on PlayStation, but now that I'm playing games on PC, I thought it appropriate. This game, from the studs, is built to take Kratos to a better point than he was prior. A path away from vengeance, away from needless anger, away from the monster he once was. If you love story-based games with engaging combat and just enough depth in its RPG elements - then this is for you. If you've never played any of these games, then this could very much still be for you. If you're a father who understands the impact you could have on your child, then this is for you. If you're a son trying to find a connection to your distant father, then this is for you. If you're something who wishes to be better, then this story is for you. Truly wonderful still. And now, onto another playthrough of Ragnarok.

Boyo. Fun game, not as optimized as I expected looking at the reviews. I had some bugs that I haven't seen in e.g. Tsushima, or Spider-man. Good cinematic experience with good acting and scenery, but the bar is high and Playstation studios have better stuff out there IMO.
